The blues had to come from behind to beat a stubborn Fulham; Chelsea took on the perfect impression of headless chickens after conceding a goal after just 4 minutes when Gera hooked in from 12 yards.

For much of the match I have to say Chelsea struggled to make any head way and only when Drogba finally equalised heading in at the far post.

Ancelotti said after Saturday's 0-0 draw with Birmingham that his side had little confidence and that was certainly the case at Fulham .

Six changes were made to the line-up but the number of alterations had little effect on the work rate or the number of clear shots on target, time after time Fulham easily pushed the half-hearted Chelsea incursions into the 10 yard box back. An own goal by Chris Smalling presented Chelsea with a victory that should in all essence have been a draw....

Let look to Portsmouth v Arsenal Wednesday, 30 December 2009, Dad said last night that Portsmouth have not beaten Arsenal since Louie Armstrong first broke wind into his trumpet with ?classics? such as "We Have All the Time in the World" which ironically Arsenal will need before they ever lift up a premier league crown.

Yes monsieur Kayoko, Fibreglass sorry that?s Fabregas may have provided the inspiration this the weekend but in reality he is still a walking sick note.

And not forgetting Val?s Man Utd in action against Wigan, now Man U have lost five games, but trail Chelsea by only two points, we are at the halfway stage of the season, and United?s past successful defences of the title are always strengthened by solid back four in defence, which has been somewhat undermined this season by injuries but a quick glance at the back four on show weekend and low and behold United have their regular back four all present and correct in Sunday's win at Hull.

Can this be a turning point for Man U........??

The smart money has Man U prevailing before match 38....we will see...
